The 17th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival August 28-30
Sidewalk Film Festival is produced by the Alabama Moving Image Association, a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit organization with a mission to inspire, encourage and support filmgoers, the city of Birmingham and the filmmaking community. In addition to hosting the annual film festival, we host monthly networking and educational events, a monthly documentary series, short film and screenwriting competitions, manage a youth board and a variety of other year-round programs.
Tickets sales to our events cover approximately 1/3 of our annual operating cash budget, so we depend on corporate sponsors, grant-making organizations and individuals like you to survive. if you’d like to know more about supporting Sidewalk, please contact us at sidewalk@sidewalkfest.com.
Who would ever make a sequel to Joe Swanberg’s Uncle Kent? That’s only part of the joke in this oddball, self-aware and disorientingly funny follow-up from director Todd Rohal (The Catechism Cataclysm). After his idea for Uncle Kent 2 is turned down by the sequel-averse Swanberg, lonely animator Kent Osborne heads to the San Diego Comic-Con and becomes embroiled in - what else? - an apocalyptic science fiction plot involving simulation theory, animated cats, the singularity, pop songs that just won’t leave your head, and the pitfalls of making sequels to independent films.
